For this album Yves Schelpe went for a collaborative approach inviting various talented guest artists

Similar to the collaborative approach of band projects like DELERIUM, CONJURE ONE or yet FAITHLESS, Yves Schelpe operates as the core-producer/composer with various other talented guest artists joining in to lend their voice or other writing/mixing skills and confirming that PSY”AVIAH stands for open-minded electronic music with energy & soul… Catchiness and diversity are both guaranteed through the female power-pop delivered by Lis van den Akker, Mari Kattman and Miss FD, ethereal touches by Angèlika (SCHWARZBLUT), futuristic male vocals by Yves himself & Damasius Venys (MONDTRÄUME), raps & powerful spoken word by Suzi Q. Smith and Diana S. (JUNKSISTA) to ballad and emotional vocals by Lisa Nascimento and the unique tone of Kyoko Baertsoen (ex-HOOVERPHONIC/LUNASCAPE). ”The Xenogamous Endeavour” is probably the more mature album ever written by PSY”AVIAH in its almost 11 years of existence, offering the perfect balance between highly melodic modern dance pop tunes (”Never Enough”, ”Before I Die”, ”Long Way”), catchy intimate songs (”Our Common End”, ”Broken Failed”, ”The Parts You Can”t See”) and more complex and darker tracks (the straight and upbeat ”Deliverance” or yet the provocative trip-hop ”Get Your Tickets”).
